Thousands of Angolans living abroad will get to vote for the first time in their country’s election next week. Before the law changed last year, Angolan people had to travel home to exercise their voting right. Many Angolan expats, who will be voting for the first time in this election, have their reservations about the fairness and integrity of the vote.
Johannesburg-based analyst Marisa Lourenço says the decision to now allow those residing outside Angola to vote was just a tactic. Only 22 000 of the around 400 000 Angolans abroad registered to vote. To add to people’s frustrations, all ballots cast abroad and in all of Angola’s provinces, have to be sent to the country’s capital of Luanda and counted there, raising concerns about the potential of voter fraud, analysts say.
UNITA has raised concerns that 2.5 million deceased people are registered to vote. In responding to this the electoral commission says that was likely because family members did not communicate the deaths to authorities or buried their loved ones in clandestine graves.
